Waiting On Wednesday

Sir William Keith owed allegiance to no one save the mysterious brotherhood of the Scottish Templars. But his task to protect the legendary Templar treasure brought him straight into the path of a bold lass who demanded he help find her kidnapped father, the treasure’s previous guardian.

William dared not abandon Lady Siobhan Fraser to her enemies. She was his best hope for finding the holy artifacts—and a dire temptation to his vow of chastity. How long could he deny the ecstasy that awaited him in her arms? For he knew all too well it’s the forbidden fruit that tastes the sweetest….

In the years since her husband King Charming boarded a pirate ship to “find himself”, Queen Ella has ruled alone. Romantic love? It’s a girlish emotion. These days, her only confidant is her steward, Sebastian.

Five years is a long time to forego sexual pleasures. She’s the queen, after all..shouldn’t she be allowed a few indulgences? A masquerade is just the ticket to find fulfillment Charming never gave her. With Sebastian’s encouragement—and a little help from a fairy godmother—Ella prepares to make some magic.

The first masked stranger she dallies with gives her a taste of what she’s been craving. And it’s just not enough. A second ball follows. A third. Each one—and each anonymous man—sends her to new heights of sexual pleasure. And reawakens the notion that maybe, just maybe, love does not always lead to pain.

Her indiscretions have not gone unnoticed. As her stepfamily makes a move to take over the throne, Ella has nowhere to turn, no one to trust…except the men behind the masks…

Warning: This is the new “happily ever after”, strictly for grown-ups…

Thanks, Hawk! I'll give it some thought. If I have time, I'd live to enter :).

Oh no, Blodeuedd! That would suck to mess up your favorite fairy tale. I think Cinderella is my fav also. I'll bet you it is Prince Charming and that will be the kicker of it all! It sound hot and steamy though :)!

Hi Donna,I've read a few templar based series. I like them and I've read Gerri Russell's other books and I really enjoyed them too. So I'm very interested in this new series. And I love Medieval historicals!

I too love Cinderella, I've read many tellings of the story from different cultures. You may have noticed that I'm a big fan of fairy tales. I'll look on Samhain site and give the adult rendition a try (ebook only?)

About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the world. A place where I share thoughts on the third love of my life. Books. The places I've explored are most wondrous and spectacular. I've traveled the world. I've crossed the oceans, visited far away lands. My journeys to exotic new worlds have been some of my most amazing and memorable travels. Worlds where magic and dragons exist. Let your mind wander, for the possibilities are endless within the pages of a book.himscute@yahoo.com(In case you might want to email me)
